6th graders in Mrs. Drees's language arts classroom enjoyed a relaxing but exciting read-aloud, Alone by Megan E. Freeman, as part of their themed survival unit. What a great way to kickstart the week after a break!

Right before we headed home early due to the blizzard (and just in time for Thanksgiving break) we wrapped up November with a sweet reward for great attendance!

👏 Congratulations to Mrs. Drees, Mrs. Stolp, and Mrs. Jark’s homerooms for winning the November Attendance Challenge!
And a HUGE shoutout to our amazing staff members who took one for the team: SRO Olson, Ms. Leitheiser, and Ms. Thompson. THANK YOU for being such great sports and for helping us show students that showing up matters (even if it means taking a pie to the face)!
